Intention

Transitioning from understanding to application leads us to the third dimension—strategies for nurturing pure intentions. A pragmatic approach includes frequent self-reflection and mindfulness before undertaking any action. Engaging in sincere supplication enhances the quality of one’s intentions, as it invites divine guidance and clarity. Additionally, the practice of ‘muraqaba’ (self-watchfulness) allows individuals to cultivate an acute awareness of their thoughts and feelings, thus reinforcing the need for pure intentions.

Furthermore, the fourth dimension invites believers to consider the concept of ‘tawheed’ (oneness of God) as it relates to intention. Aligning one’s actions with this fundamental tenet promotes a focused and unified intention directed toward the divine. By contemplating the implication of tawheed in daily practices, one can eradicate confusion and multiplicity of intentions, replacing them with a singular, resolute purpose aimed at divine approval.
